Hi, I am trying to parse an input file in JBoss AS 4.2.3 GA. I have defined JbossEntityResolverMgr as Jboss Service. But While parsing the input xml, request is timing out. I suspect that the EntityResolverMgr is not picking up the local path for the dtd in the input xml.

Here is my JBossEntityResolverMgr settings

<mbean code="org.jboss.services.xml.JBossEntityResolverMgr"
      name="jboss.xml:service=JBossEntityResolverMgr">
      <attribute name="WarnOnNonFileURLs">true</attribute>
      <attribute name="EntityMap">     
      http\://www.xxx.com/support/tech/dtd/yyy/ZZZScheduleUploadRequest.dtd=dtd/ZZZScheduleUploadRequest.dtd
      </attribute>
   </mbean>

my input XML starts with

<!DOCTYPE EES SYSTEM "http://www.xxx.com/support/tech/dtd/yyy/ZZZScheduleUploadRequest.dtd">

Error in the logs:

Error when parsing an XML file using parser in servlet in public Document parse(InputStream aFile, String filename) throws AppError

Just wondering if starting the JbossEntityResolverMgr mbean service with the systemId/publicId - dtd/schema mapping  is enough or do we need to set the entityResolver to the parser that is being used to parse the input file?
